In concert with last night's infomercial designed to appeal to independents, Barack Obama decided to throw a bone to his base by appearing on the Daily Show. And it was admittedly adorable: maybe it's the semi-comfortable lead he has on McCain, but Obama seemed really at ease in his own skin. He even joshed about his mixed-race background and threw a zinger at Sean Hannity fans. He also said some incredibly gracious things about John McCain, but we decided to leave those out of the above clip to preserve the funny. The full interview is embedded after the jump; a selected clip, above.
